Ingredients
1 block (8 oz / 225g) feta cheese (or halloumi), cut into thick squares/rectangles
1 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
2 tbsp honey (for drizzling)
Optional garnish: Fresh thyme leaves or oregano, black pepper, or red pepper flakes
Instructions
1. Prep the Cheese: Pat the block of feta cheese completely dry with a paper towel. Slice into thick, even bite-sized squares or slabs.
2. Sear to Perfection: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, place the feta pieces in the pan. Sear for 2–3 minutes on each side without moving them, until a deep golden, crispy crust forms and the inside becomes warm and soft.
3. Drizzle & Garnish: Transfer the crispy cheese to a serving plate. Immediately drizzle generously with warm honey and garnish with fresh thyme leaves or a pinch of black pepper. Serve hot!
